AthFest Educates

The nonprofit provides grants for up to $5,000 for qualifying recipients and their projects. The funds support music and arts education.

WUGA’s Havivah Saltz headed downtown last weekend to speak to new and seasoned musicians and find out what it’s like to play Athfest.

The event featured three free outdoor stages of live music, a Kidsfest area, and a block-long artist's market on Washington Street.

Mary-Eleanor Joyce will assume Executive Director role for AthFest Educates in November.

Grants include $26,431 for music and arts programs, $750 for educator professional development, and $19,720 for instruments and equipment.
